SCHOOL BUS TRANSPORTATION POLICY
We believe and know:
Safety is always our main concern in transporting students.
Student conduct on the bus is as important as conduct in any aspect of school life.
Buses are considered the property of the Board of Education and all rules of behaviour apply to students while being transported. School buses are provided to transport students from their designated bus stop to school and back to their designated stop. Only in an extraordinary circumstance in which a student must take an alternate route, he/she must bring a note from the parent/guardian clearly indicating the date, the destination of the student and the reason for taking the bus. This note must be turned into the office in the morning, signed by the Principal, picked up by the student and used to board the bus.
Students who walk to school shall not use school buses. Since riding the school bus is a privilege, students not observing appropriate behaviour will be reported to the office and lose bus privileges. In this event, parents will be required to provide their child’s transportation to and from school.
